Famous quotes containing the words animal and/or planet:
“All that is told of the sea has a fabulous sound to an inhabitant of the land, and all its products have a certain fabulous quality, as if they belonged to another planet, from seaweed to a sailor’s yarn, or a fish story. In this element the animal and vegetable kingdoms meet and are strangely mingled.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I have always believed that opera is a planet where the muses work together, join hands and celebrate all the arts.”
—Franco Zeffirelli (b. 1922)
